Abstract     Stenosis of carotid artery is the disease of older population which often leads to cerebrovascular accident -stroke. Carotid bifurcation plaques apear in symptomatic and asymptomatic form. It is important to evaluate the high -grade asymptomatic stenosis on time to begin the apropriate therapy and to prevent the stroke. Digital subtractioon nngiography is the »gold standard« for the evaluation of symptomatie carotid stenosis, whereas CT angiography is a semi-invasive method for characterisation of plaque morphology. In General Hospital of Maribor we use spiral computed thomography, while in the Western part of the world the multisclice computed tomography is prefered.
